       A class-action lawsuit filed against GitHub Copilot, its parent company Microsoft, and OpenAI claims open-source software piracy and violations of open-source licenses. Specifically, the lawsuit states that code generated by Copilot does not include any attribution to the original author of the code, copyright notices, or a copy of the license, which most open-source licenses require. Ownership of AI-Generated Code Hotly Disputed https://spectrum.ieee.org/ai-code-generation-ownership what do you think?

       @travis @nixCraft that code seems to be under Creative Commons Attributions ShareAlike (https://stackoverflow.com/help/licensing). I usually paste references to the source of the code I end up copying from SO.Like most OSS licenses, as long as you add the proper copyright header and license, you're free to use it. Each license has it's own set of rules, but I think all of them require acknowledgement to the original author.

       @nixCraft It's impossible to win because what ML models do is extracting data in a way not much different from statistics and they generate their output from scratch and it's something that never existed before, so it's impossible to claim that they "copy", "steal" and so on.What they do is literally "learning", they are called like this for a reason afterall.
